Twitter API Project Ideas
I'm currently working on Twitter API for my final year Project. The purpose of the project is : Mining Tweets on various Topics with highly efficient and accurate algorithm and give a complete analysis report on my proposed work.
Though there are various tools and websites which mine the tweets and give a complete analysis based on various criteria, like - .
1) Counting the tweets on the basis of various forms of Emotion.
2) Checking whether the tweet is supporting any individual mentioned in the tweet or criticizing him.
3) Counting the tweets on the basis of various topics (Education, Politics, Sport, Science etc).
4) Analyzing the demographics of tweets posted on any topic (by Age Group, Gender or Location)
and many more...
It therefore, becomes a very simple project. 😀 But since it is a research work, I have to work from the scratch step-wise:-
1) Fetching tweets from the net and storing them in a file.
2) Removing the noise (abbreviations, hashtags or grammatical mistakes) from those tweets.
3) Thinking of a criteria on which we could analyse the tweets
4) Develop an algorithm to meet the requirements of the proposed criteria.
5) Obtaining the results from the tweets through the algorithm developed.
6) Making a complete analysis report on the obtained results.
Kinda Data Mining thing which I've got to know and every step requires an algorithmic approach to solve the problem. But it also needs the concepts of Social Network Analysis(SNA) and Natural Language Processing(NLP) works to be focused on.
I'm actually confused how to get started with though I've read quite a lot about Twitter API in the net (I'm bored 😛), and even learned Python and Ruby on Rails (they support Twitter API).
Could anyone give me some guidelines regarding this project ??
Any other criteria in your mind in which I could work on ??
